To set DFS link as root folder

When you create a shortcut to a DFS link and uses the UP button in Windows Explorer, it will traverse up the DFS path. There is a way to stop this:

e.g To set LEVEL2 as root folder, instead of creating the shortcut as:

\\DFS-ROOT\LEVEL1\LEVEL2

use the following:

explorer.exe /e,/root,\\DFS-ROOT\LEVEL1\LEVEL2
